For the first decades after Israel’s founding, this
war was conventional in nature. The goal was straightforward: to use military
force to overrun Israel. Well before the Berlin Wall came down, that approach
had clearly failed.

Then came phase two: Terrorism.

Terrorists targeted Israelis - both home and abroad - from the
massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at Munich to the second intifada. The
terrorists continue to target Jews across the world. But they have not
succeeded in bringing down the Israeli government - and they have not weakened
Israeli resolve.

Now the war has entered a new phase. This is the soft
war that seeks to isolate Israel by delegitimizing it. The battleground is
everywhere includingthe media,
multinational and organisations NGOs. In this war, the aim is to make Israel a
pariah. (Unfortunately, many of Murdoch’s
publications are also involved in the “Media war” against Israel)

The result is the curious situation we
have today whereby Israel becomes increasingly ostracized, while Iran, a nation
that has made no secret of wishing Israel's destruction, pursues nuclear
weapons loudly, proudly, and without apparent fear of rebuke...

Back in 1937, a man named Vladimir
Jabotinsky urged Britain to open up an escape route for Jews fleeing Europe.
Only a Jewish homeland, he said, could protect European Jews from the coming
calamity. In prophetic words, he described the problem this way: “It is not the
anti-Semitism of men,” he said. “It is, above all, the anti-Semitism of things,
the inherent xenophobia of the body social or the body economic under which we
suffer.”

The world of 2010 is not the world of the 1930s. The threats Jews
face today are different. But these threats are real. These threats are soaked
in an ugly language familiar to anyone old enough to remember World War II. And
these threats cannot be addressed until we see them for what they are, as part
of an ongoing war against the Jews.

By bowing to Ankara's demand to omit Iran and Syria (and consequently
the threat of their ballistic missiles) from the NATO agreement to establish a
missile shield facility in Turkey, President Barak Obama has rendered worthless
any US security guarantees offered Israel. This is especially evident in view
of Obama's quiet consent to placing the facility under a Turkish (Islamic government) general. So what exactly the missile shield meant to guard against, if
not Iran? (Why is the US administration so
conciliatory to non-Jewish fake friends?)

Food for Thought. by
Steven Shamrak

My father’s
family was gathered and killed by local Ukrainians during the first days of
German occupation of his town in the south of Ukrainian. Germans did not know
who the Jews were at the time - local people did! After 3 years of hiding, 10
years old at the time, he knew the Christian holidays better than local
Ukrainians as the hunt for Jews was their favourite past-time during the
holidays! It was happening everywhere - Ukraine, Byelorussia, Poland, Baltic
republics etc. (Yes I know, there were good Christians and some of them were
also killed by Nazis!) Nowadays, most people are complacent and silent about
anti-Israel international bashing campaign, as they were in 30’s and 40’s. Many
have reverted to the old sadistic anti-Semitic ‘game’!

Do not Forget Hamas and Fatah Terrorists

Just two weeks after Mohammed Namnam was killed in a combined
Israel-US-Egyptian targeted assassination, an Israeli airborne missile struck
again in Gaza City on Nov. 17, and killed two more commanders of the Al
Qaeda-linked Army of Islam.

Palestinian
Terrorist Amin Al-Hindi was one of the senior planners of the murders of 11
Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. This week's Fifth Sitting of
the Fatah Revolutionary Council headed by Mahmoud Abbas was named in his honor.

Has a New Player Arrived?

Chinese
warplanes took part in Turkey's recent air maneuver after breaking their
journey to refuel in Iran. Questions should be asked about the role China is
willing to play in the military-intelligence alliance binding Syria, Iran and
Turkey and the membership of Turkey in NATO.

A
majority of Arabs, 60 percent, in Judea, Samaria and Gaza favor direct
negotiations with Israel for “two states” of the Palestinian Authority and
Israel, but it also reveals that two-thirds agree that “over time, Palestinian
must work to get back all the land for a Palestinian state”, by the use of
violence, if necessary.

Why is it Always ‘Too early’ until it is too Late?

The
United States said it is too early to consider a military response to North
Korea's attack on a South Korean island, while President Barack Obama was
"outraged" by the deadly assault. (Who
cares about fake outrage. The same lies will be used when Arabs attack Israel!)
PS - Washington spurns Tokyo's demand for
reprisal against North Korea.

Threat to Israel is Imminent Now!

Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud
Barak have made a big deal about the security benefits they say Barak Obama is
offering for a second, 90-day moratorium on settlement construction.However the delivery date of the second lot
of 20 F-35 stealth warplanes is 2020 – ten years from now! So how will that
help Israel stand up to current security threats from Iran, Hizballah, Syria
and Hamas? The Obama letter of commitment is meanwhile delayed. (Can Israel trust the US? Obama administration
officials have already denied a pledged package of major incentives.)

It is Never Enough - Israel is Targeted for
Destruction

Lebanese officials and Hizbullah leaders say Israel's withdrawal from
Ghajar is not enough. Hizbullah called the Ghajar pullout an Israeli 'trick' to
keep its 60,000 rockets targeting Israel.

Quote
of the Week:

"If the Arab League is seeking challenges, there are many in the
Arab world - hundreds killed each week in terror attacks, poverty and despair
which shout to the heavens." - Avigdor Lieberman, Foreign
Minister of Israel - But it is easier to divert
attention of the Arab population, blaming Israel for everything.

Denigrating Israel using "Cat and Mouth"
Game

As Israel waits for a letter clarifying America's guarantees in exchange
for a proposed building ban for Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, a
diplomatic source has come forward saying there is no such letter... Clinton
made commitments when talking to Netanyahu, but later slipped out of them by
claiming that she had not been speaking on behalf of U.S. President Obama who,
she said, in the end did not give his approval.

‘Inhumane’ Treatment of the Enemies?

The IDF Spokesman’s Office reports that in 2009 some 180,000 civilians
from PA controlled territories were treated in Israeli hospitals.

No International Outcry!

A PA sponsored construction project, a new marketplace between the Tomb
of the Patriarchs and the nearby Jewish city of Kiryat Arba, could cut Jewish
access to the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron. The Tomb is one of Judaism's
most holy sites, however the PA claims the site as a mosque.

UN’s anti-Israel Bigotry on Record!

The United Nations Human Rights Council this month
adoptednine resolutions against Israel. (Obama's
UN Officials opposed nothing and
kept silence!)

The Council, engaged in a “universal periodic review”
of human rights protection in Lebanon, was examining a report by that country
which expressed its objections to "the establishment of the Zionist entity
on Palestinian territory”. (The Council
does not care about systematic killings of Christians in Lebanon and their mass
departure from the country)

Every United Nations member state was asked to submit
a report to the Council on its national human rights record, which was then
reviewed by U.N. members who engage in a short dialogue with the state
representatives.

After Lebanon submitted its report objecting to the
creation of the State of Israel, Israel's representative responded,

“My delegation would like to state on record our
strong objection to the inappropriate and abusive language used to reference
the State of Israel. Unfortunately, the existence of a dominant terrorist
organization, Hizbullah, as well as political tensions and struggles between
different vital groups.” Israel’s presentation then was rudely interrupted by
the Council president, the delegate from Thailand, who broke in to summarily
recognize the delegation of Lebanon. “If there were no Israeli occupation there
would have been no resistance and resistance of peoples against foreign
occupation is a legitimate right. Thank you,” the Lebanese delegate stated
firmly, to a hall, which broke into applause.

The Council
president followed up, “I appreciate the concern expressed by the Lebanese
delegation.” (Such undiplomatic behaviour is never
allowed toward any other country!)
